Hello, #JulyWorldbuilders! In the forest you're talking about this week, what are some plants or animals that can be found there? If you want to get freaky, feel free to include fungi, too!

25. What are some plants or animals found in the forest?

The background image shows a forest with the sun at a low angle, shining below the canopy. It’s very pretty green and yellow, giving a soft, gentle, warm feeling.

SERIAL DATING | Adult Horror Rom-Com Inverted Tropes: 🛏️Too Many Beds (it's a bunk bed situation) ❤️Co-workers to Friends to Lovers (No enemies here) ☠️Neither FMC or MMC are Serial K!llers (but everyone else is) ☀️Perfect, Sunny Weather (no dark & stormy nights) #QuestPit #W #A #H #R

Picture of rock half in a lake, half on the sand. Text: The Pitch, While vacationing at a remote lakeside cabin, the daughter from a dynasty of eccentric k!llers struggles to shield her new boyfriend from her family’s gruesome legacy, but the sunny lakeside retreat turns deadly when a k!ller from her past turns the camp grounds into hunting grounds.

Picture of trees. Text: The Opening. I’m pretty sure the guy I matched with is a serial k!ller.

I knew it the moment he picked me up. His hair is combed too straight, his blue button down shirt is overly starched, his khakis pressed with military precision, and his nails neatly trimmed to the quick.

I can almost hear my best friend, Kayla’s voice in my head, ‘It’s find Maddie. He’s a nice guy. Why are you always trying to find the faults?’

It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose, it’s just that I have a type. And I really, really want to get away from my normal type and find a nice guy.

“You look beautiful,” he says as he presents me with a bouquet of flowers.

White lillies. The flower of death.

MONK & ROBOT X EMILY WILDE When a blight strikes, an optimistic archivist must track down her hero's fabled garden with the help of an archaic engineer—but secret origins and disillusionment lurk between hard drives and petals. ☀️ Solarpunk 🌷 Floriography 💚 Enby LI #QuestPit #W #A #SF #R

Floral background with the text Mending Glass. By Florrie Auclair. Solarpunk Romantic Sci-Fi

Character portrait of a blond woman making a heart with her hands. Juniper Penrose. An archivist specializing in botany. She idolizes the old world botanist, Miriam, who helped lead the resistance centuries ago. Optimistic and a little reckless, she seeks to uncover the past and find Miriam’s garden. Her drive to help people, sometimes comes at her own expense—like the reason for the mechanical leg she now cherishes.

Next to that is a character portrait of a nonbinary character with light blue eyes and duotone hair in black and blonde. Eli Winter. An aloof engineer who specializes in old world infrastructure programming trying to prove their skills are just as important as the nouveau programmers of the city. They leave their home and grandfather to help Juni break into archaic servers and hard drives—and often pull her out of trouble.

Comp slide with Horizon Zero Dawn, Emily Wildes, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Violet Evergarden, and Fruits Basket. The text pointing at the various media are Ruins of a fallen industrial world, Solarpunk, Flower Motifs, Traveling to help others and find self discovery, Joyful but melancholic character connections, and Sunshine MC x Sunshine Protector

Data is as fragile as flower petals. That’s why Juniper, an archivist in a recovering solarpunk world, wants to immortalize the past in the Glass Archives. Safe from time’s decay, unlike the archaic hard drives of the old world. Specifically, information on her hero, Miriam, a botanist who legend says grew a garden of resistant plants—ones that could survive the blight ravaging their crops. But to find it, Juniper will need the help of Eli, an engineer who specializes in old world technology. Together they traverse ruins and follow a trail of flower language from village to village to unearth what led to the dark age of information. But Juniper starts to question her identity when they uncover that the woman she modeled herself after was not the hero she believed.

FINAL FANTASY XIII x PRIORY OF THE 🍊 TREE Four women are intertwined across a surface world rebuilding after 300 years and the sky empire responsible for its destruction when the result of centuries of unfathomable greed comes home to roost. Serializing August 7th! #QuestPit #F #A #W

A square graphic with a pale green background. It is titled "FROM UNDER A POISONED BOUGH: A sapphic epic eco-fantasy serial coming August 7th". Below, the image is split into two columns.

The left column from top to bottom is as follows: a dark brown rectangle with a circle image of an overhead shot of a forest and a circle image of a stone corridor; "A woman out of time. A soldier longing for home. A peasant fighting for her life. A savior entombed in stone."; a shot of the elbow and rib/waist of a suit of armor with yellow detailing.

The right column from top to bottom is as follows: a close-up of a tree stump in the woods with a whole mushroom colony growing from it; a suit of black armor beside a stone archway carrying an apple-sized object; a brown rectangle containing the story's color palette, which includes the same pale green as the background, a sage green, a stone grey, and a pale pink.

NETTLE & BONE x STAR DAUGHTER 💰 Cheating a suitor out of his money to help her family was easy. 🌌 Falling in love with the night sky trapped in a mortal body is harder. 💔 And helping them return to the sky at the expense of her heart might just be impossible. #QuestPit #A #F #RF #Q #LGBT

A collage of images, going from top left clockwise: a bouquet of colorful berries, swooping white towers with spiral balconies, a shiny purple beetle, a colorful shop full of knick-knacks, a blooming crocus in a dark forest, a drawing of a woman reaching out to the night sky as if to pluck a star, a crumbling castle on a moor, and mushrooms growing on a tree. In the center is a quote by Virginia Woolf: “I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything.”
